These terms and conditions relate to the Net Lawman scheme where a draftsman is paid a royalty and receives full information about all buyers of documents drawn by him, so as to enable him to invite that buyer to become a client of his practice.

Different terms apply to an arrangement whereby we pay you to draw documents, with no royalty payable and no client introduction.

Subject to the terms of this document, you may draw documents for sale on Our Website.

We will pay you the Royalty.

We will make available to you the Buyer Information as provided below.

You confirm that your Documents have been drawn by you and that either you own the copyright in them or you have the consent of the copyright owner to enter into this agreement and do all things envisaged by or possible through this agreement.

We are entitled, but not obliged to check any aspect of your Documents.

You agree to upload only Documents prepared to the then current Specification, today's version of which is set out in the Schedule.

You may draw a document for any jurisdiction to which we sell.

You acknowledge that we may sell your Documents at a price chosen by us and at different prices to different market segments or under the terms of any promotional or other offer.

Either of us may terminate this agreement without notice by withdrawing a Document from sale. If we do, the agreement terminates only so far as that Document is concerned.

Whenever this agreement terminates, it does so without prejudice to any outstanding obligations we may have one to the other.

We agree to make it a condition of purchase by a Buyer that we may pass his name and email address to you.

We agree to provide to a Buyer your professional information, as you will have provided to us, excluding your email address and password for the Net Lawman website.

We agree to tell a buyer that you may contact him and that he may contact you.

We will provide through Our Website, a means for you to see sales of your Documents as they accrue, in real time.

Your liability to Buyers is limited by the terms and conditions under which we sell Documents.

(It is our opinion that you may be professionally liable for the provision of a Document which fails to comply with the law or which could not be used to give effect to the sort of transaction envisaged in the text you write to introduce it. However, we do not see that you could be liable for loss resulting from the way a Buyer uses a Document, since that is outside your control and does not use it in the capacity of your client)

You indemnify us against all liability and expense arising from any claim by a Buyer in respect of or based on a Document.

You agree to indemnify us against any claim or demand, including reasonable lawyers' fees, made by any third party due to or arising in any way out of your use of Our Web Site, or the infringement by you, or by any other person using your computer, of any intellectual property or other right of any person.

If any of these terms is at any time held in any jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable, then it shall be treated as changed or reduced, only to the extent minimally necessary to bring it within the laws of that jurisdiction and to prevent it from being void and it shall be binding in that changed or reduced form. Subject to that, each provision shall be interpreted as severable and shall not in any way affect any other of these terms.

Nothing in any contract to which we are a party shall confer any right to any person not a party to a contract.

No waiver by us, in exercising any right, power or provision hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other right or of that same right at a future time; nor shall any delay in exercise of any power or right be interpreted as a waiver.

In the event of a dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms or any contract between you and us, then you agree to attempt to settle the dispute by engaging in good faith with us in a process of mediation before commencing arbitration or litigation.
